WOW!! Thanks all for responding!!

In most of your posts, the ones that have yorkies that are totally trained to go outside, a lot of you stated that it was fairly easy to train them to go outside.

What was it that you did or didn't do that made it so easy? I know all dogs are different and that plays a factor in it.

Did you all keep them confined for the most part? For those that used an xpen to help with housebreaking, did you put pee pads in there? When did you get rid of the pee pads?

Sorry for all of the questions. I'm in a dilema. I have two wonderful puppies. But they aren't housebroke yet and because of a difficult pregnancy and being on and off bed rest and my mother in law having lung cancer, my husband and I thought it was best to find my puppies a new home. My other two kids are just beside themselves with the news. My 10 year old won't speak to me.

I'm just trying to understand this breed a little more and try to figure out if it is possible to housetrain, and if so, what is the easiest way to do that. I don't want to give my babies up.
